Tapestry Turban Snail
This is a small shell that I purchased in San Felipe, Mexico on a trip with friends a couple of years ago. I like sea shells and consider them to be beautiful works of nature.
Lighting stuff: I wanted even lighting on the shell to cut down on specular highlights from the glossy surface of the shell. I lit the shell with two YN560-III's in 24 inch soft boxes positioned in front on either side of the shell, and pointing towards the center at a 45 degree angle. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other shells that I have photographed over the years are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
